Beautiful campground! We were in space 56. Very roomy, clean and we enjoyed all the wildlife that came through our camp. Loved having full hook-ups. Very friendly hosts. Wish wi-fi was available.

Excellent facility and very friendly hosts! We did not actually see or use the showers or bathrooms due to Covid. Only disappointment is that a bear resistant cooler with a padlock was insufficient to leave out at night with the forest order restrictions, but that was not the fault of the facility.

Very nice in July. Weather is exceptional, campgrounds were clean and well maintained. On the 8th day of our stay, a guest arrived with a few other RV companions and immediately started driving around the campground in an ATV playing loud music from the vehicle. It took about the 8th time around before the camp host showed up and explained how things worked. No more croud noise after that. I was very impressed.

My wife and I have been camping at Apache Trout Campground for many years . The camp grounds are clean well kept. and quiet. A short walk to the lake. Very friendly people . The hosts are great. My only pet pee is that some people don,t keep there dogs on leash .
